The Y, RY, and RB data in the buffer memory 262 are read by the memory controller 264 at, for example, the NTSC rate, and are converted into analog signals by the DA converter 265. It is converted and input to the encoder 266. Encoder 2
66, a composite video signal is created from the input Y, RY, and BY data, and the video signal is input to the monitor 305 'for reproduction.

On the other hand, Y, RY, and RB data corresponding to each pixel in the buffer memory 263 are taken into the DSP 267 and converted into RGB data. The RAM 268 is used as a work area for data during the conversion operation,
It is also used as a buffer when outputting data to the output I / F 269. The image data converted into the RGB data by the DSP 267 is output to the computer 300 ″ connected to the output I / F 269 at a transfer rate controlled by the DSP 267. As described above, in the third embodiment, the DSP 267 By the control, the output I / F 269
Data processing and transfer are performed at a transfer rate according to the performance of the computer 300 "connected to the server.

When the transfer of the image data in the buffer memory 263 is completed in this way, the CPU 273 switches the switch SW2 to the terminal “b” and the switch SW3 to the terminal “a”, and transfers the image data in the buffer memory 262 to the DSP 267. Is converted to RGB data and transferred to the computer 300 ″. At this time, the data in the buffer memory 263 is read by the memory controller 264 at, for example, the NTSC rate, and

The correction process is also executed by the DSP 267 based on parameters at the time of photographing.

In the above description, the color frame image is used as the monitor output. However, if the image is simply checked, a monochrome image is sufficient. In this case, FIG.

It is possible to set parameters for each process performed in step 67). For example, when performing a process of converting raw data to YC data, if the desired image quality cannot be obtained with the default setting of γ and white balance data, the computer may request γ data, white balance data, color difference Parameters such as signal gain hue
Through the PU 77 (in the case of FIG. 14), it is possible to newly set and perform higher-precision conversion processing again.

The raw image data written on the recording medium is used when the spectral characteristics of the color filters of each pixel shown in FIG. 6 vary or when the pixel data of each pixel is subjected to A / D conversion. In the case where there is a variation in gain, if the YC conversion is performed as it is, a step occurs in the luminance signal. In such a case, an achromatic image such as white paper is photographed, the raw data is once taken into a computer, the level of each pixel is checked, and the correction value is output to the output I / F 7 again.
4 (in the case of FIG. 14), set in the CPU 77, and
It is also possible to give a correction value to the DSP 76 during the C conversion processing, and to perform processing with higher accuracy.

Further, when converting the YC data into RGB data, the luminance level can be set in accordance with the characteristics of the display monitor by changing the matrix coefficient from an external computer.

When an image input to a computer is output to a printer, processing such as tone correction, color correction, and noise removal may be performed according to the characteristics of the printer. In this case, according to the embodiment, these processes are performed by the CPU of the computer and the DSP in the image signal transfer device.
Can be shared. For example, in an image photographed with the sensitivity of a still camera set to be high, color noise is conspicuous in a low luminance portion. Therefore, the gain of the color difference signal is changed according to the luminance level according to the characteristics of the luminance level and the color difference gain shown in FIG. The conversion process is performed at the time of the RGB conversion process in the DSP 76 (in the case of FIG. 14), so that the gradation correction,
Processing that requires detailed parameter setting such as color correction can be performed by the CPU of the computer connected to the output I / F 74.
